== The Connection of the Land of Israel to the Jewish People ==
The Land of Israel was designated and given to the Jewish people from its very creation, as Rashi brings Rabbi Yitzchak's words "... all the land belongs to the Holy One, blessed be He, He created it and gave it to whomever was proper in His eyes, etc." This means from the time of its creation it was already holy and given to Israel - those who were proper in His eyes, while the sanctification of the land through its conquest by the Jewish people is only revealing its holiness that was hidden within it.

Nevertheless, by His will He gave it to them - to the nations of the world - to be temporarily under the control of the seven nations, so that the Jewish people would come, and through their free choice and work from below to above, would conquer this land that had become materialized and defiled, and transform it into the Land of Israel - the Holy Land.
